new eXperience has started!1st day in Cluj!

Hello dear bloggers.My name is Nikos and I am from Greece.I am 20 years old and I am studying in Department of Business Administration at University of AEGEAN.This summer I decided to live a new/different summer in another country,volunteering in a NGO through a developing internship with AIESEC.

AIESEC is a global organization that offers the opportunity to students to challenge themselves in terms of leadership,management through an umbrella of a global learning environment.Through AIESEC students can apply for international development program or global internship program in over 100 countries.

So right now I am in Cluj-Napoca doing my international development program and so far the experience is awesome.I arrived two days ago, in the afternoon, at Cluj-Napoca's airport and the guys from the project that I will work were waiting me and welcome me vividly.I had the chance to meet one of the 4 girls, Olia from Moldova, that me and Chris (the other Greek guy),we are going to work together in the same project.We left from the airport and head to the bus station nearby in order to get the bus to the center of city.We changed the buses and after 30 minutes I was in my new house.Unfortunately this building doesn't have a lift and I had to carry my baggage 4 floors......but it was ok, a bit tiring but I manage it ;)

The same day 3 more trainees were going to arrive,two girls from Estonia and Chris from Greece.So we went with the Romanian guys and Olia to a pub because AIESEC Cluj had an Alumni meeting and then straight to the airport to get Kaiti,Helen and Chris.After we got them,we went also in the station to get the bus and take Chris and the girl to their houses.For the first 4 days me and Chris are going to live together in the same apartment with ADA and DIDY (two grils from Romania),Mateusz and Augusto from Poland and Brazil.On Monday the other 4 girls will come and live with us and the guys that are staying with us are going to move to another apartment.

In order to get to know with the guys at the first night, we start drinking some traditional romanian drink Palinka......really strong,mix it with Cachaca and greek SOUMA from Chios island.A bit dizzy the first night...but so cool.

That's all for now,more updates for the second day in a while!

Take care
